Remembering...

Today will forever be a difficult day, not only for myself, but for my family. Two years ago today, I lost my Nana. She was not only a huge supporter of my nursing career, having been a nurse herself, but also of my jewelry making (though she really wanted me to be a nurse first, jeweler second). It never stopped her from wanting more things that I had made. Not only would she wear it, but she would show it off to her friends. I am so thankful for everything that she did for me, I honestly do not think I would be the person I am today without her. I am lucky to have her as my guardian angel.

Here she is wearing a teal necklace I had made for her pretty early in my jewelry making.

I've always looked up to you (maybe not always physically as I grew taller), but you are the woman I aspire to be like-so loving, generous and caring. I love you, Nana.
It's never easy to lose a loved one, so cherish every minute you have with them. I know I can remember my Nana, and honor her by working hard and being caring, not only in the work I do as a nurse, but also as a jeweler. I am thankful to have a life in which I can do both of my passions and not have to chose one or the other. So today especially I will remember my Nana, my guardian angel, and spread all of the love and generosity that she gave to me to others.  

and Ps. cancer sucks.

Miss her still. Have so much to tell her, to confide in her. A great and much loved friend.

This makes me so proud of Kate but so sad because I miss my Mom, but I know in my heart she lives on forever.
